There has been a major concern that South Africa has been late off the starting blocks in securing a vaccine against COVID-19 for the population. Some vaccines have already been approved and these are being rolled out in many countries around the world. But no one locally has been given a jab.

Business for South Africa has been working with the government and the Solidarity Fund to procure adequate COVID-19 vaccine for South Africans.
To discuss we're joined by the Business for SA Health Working Group Chair, Stavros Nicolaou.
